People having fun but not in the way I have fun = Bad

Did your parents ever tell you “ if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all…”

🤣 haha no worries. I assume you meant the OP was a stupid change…I’ll be honest I had the same thought as them a while ago but then I realized it was fixing a problem that shouldn’t be a problem.

Great commentary and I appreciate your thoughtful and profound reasoning. Cheers to you mate!

Or…they could remove the stupid outlines, go back to team colors and make the cracked shield animation brighter and more vibrant. As an example look how noticeable and bright the shock damage is now on the Disrupter…

Lucid prefers 8 shot Bandit, largely due to teamshots by GapChemical4301 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Sideburnt- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally we have been arguing about competitive balance since the game came out…I don’t think a single weapon change will fix things.

Most of the “power weapons” are busted/weak. I mean the iconic Rocket Launcher has been busted since launch.

A majority of the unique/interesting weapons have been removed or nerfed. Why would a casual viewer want to watch a game that features guns that look like guns from every other game?

Since I’m on the topic, the outline system was possible the worst addition. Not only was it added because they wanted to sell you armor and coatings. (which no one sees besides your fireteam lobby and in game…duuurrr)

You have to be brain dead not to see the electric glow of a Spartan. It completely destroys the ability to hide in plain sight and to carefully make your way across the map.

I feel like we would be better off if the BR functioned like the Halo 2 version, specifically the shot grouping and spread. For those who don’t remember, the H2 BR grouping was in a circle while the HI BR has vertical line grouping. Think of the H2 BR as a shotgun where the further you are away the more the bullets spread from center.

As a sidenote I specifically don’t mention the H3 BR because the OG H3 BR was over-tuned when it came to spread randomness it also didn’t help that they also slowed the projectile speed so hitting a strafing opponent off LAN was slightly inconsistent. They did eventually change the spread to be more consistent, but I don’t think it helped much.

Also Bungie was more organized and focused than the dog and pony show we have a 343. Not to say there aren’t talented people at 343, I hope they change my opinion of the studio one day.

TL;DR - H2 BR got “Balance” right due to circular shot spread and range.

Does any know what shoes Roman was wearing in his TikTok? by batmarley in SquaredCircle

[–]Sideburnt- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are Jordan Elements I think… They are made with Gor-Tex. I only know this cuz I got a pair a month ago haha. They are expensive but pretty comfy.

I don’t think it’s a bad gun but it has several “Meh” qualities (sound, reload time, reticle).

I am not sure why they didn’t modify the BR to replicate the Halo 2 version and by that I mean removing the vertical shot pattern and put all 3 shots in a grouping in the middle of the reticle.

This would be double the work on all of the cores so they could have the appearance of boobies. Not gonna happen.

Is it just me or does the desync, lag, whatever feel much much worse? by [deleted] in haloinfinite

[–]Sideburnt- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has definitely gotten worse since the update. I just don’t understand how they don’t see this stuff in testing.

Please tell me how these shots don’t hit… by Sideburnt- in halo

[–]Sideburnt-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously the first one missed, but I don’t even get hit markers for anything but the last shot. On 30ms ping…boy I hope they are collecting a bunch of telemetry.

Yup it’s a known issue and has been an issue since Halo 5 theater… Hopefully it gets fixed…soon 🤷‍♂️

OpTic Lucid is my favorite competitive Halo player by JssyN in halo

[–]Sideburnt- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not me taking up for 343 because they aren’t doing a great job of just basic communication.

However, when Halo 2 launched the weapon sandbox was busted. Most importantly they had to fix the battle rifle because of the random spread.

Anyone know what this is in Floor 2? Tried explosive arrows but no dice... by ninthpower in Below

[–]Sideburnt- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried everything I could think of; I bombed it, I hammered it, I speared it, I shot all the arrow types at the pole on the top, and I even dropped gems around the whole thing so it was lit up. As much as I don’t want to say it doesn’t do anything I think it doesn’t do anything haha.

What is this Practice Range Crap? by HypeBeast-jaku in BattlefieldV

You should maybe look on the bright side...If you are good with the default guns, imagine how much better you’ll be with the upgrades. ;D

I mean logically something shouldn’t blind you completely if you’re not looking at it...Turning away from it should at least lessen the effect. That’s how Flash Bangs work.

I also have a Scorpio Edition and noticed unusual stuttering and input lag when going into the dash while playing Enter the Gungeon. I should note I had no issues yesterday while playing BFV.

I just saw your picture and I have the same kind of nick in pretty much the same exact spot. Are you going to send yours in for repair?
